90% Silver

Historically, United States silver coins were struck in an alloy containing 90% silver. Private investors have long sought these historic coins as a simple and convenient way to invest in and hold physical silver. Coins in common dates and circulated condition that do not have any significant collector value are sometimes called "junk silver," simply to distinguish them from coins with numismatic or collector value. They are sometimes traded in bags with mixed denominations. Any combination of these coins that total one dollar in face value will collectively contain 0.715 to 0.77 ounce of silver, allowing one to readily calculate a bag's bullion silver value based on the face value of the coins it contains.

We offer bags of mixed silver in a wide range of face value totals. These bags are popular among those concerned with the possibility of a catastrophic or rapid devaluation of the U.S. Dollar and currency in general. In such a scenario, paper money and modern base metal coins would lose most or all of their value, while coins bearing dates known to be struck in 90% silver would be readily accepted in day-to-day transactions based on their intrinsic value.

The appeal of mixed silver is not predicated or limited to this intention - many collectors enjoy sorting through these coins in search of curious or overlooked specimens. The low cost premiums associated with mixed silver make it a smart investment holding with no special motives needed to enjoy its benefits.
